Chapter 740 Is the good thing about promotion gone?
After the eldest prince came to his senses, he still smiled and asked the emperor to take care of himself.
"Eunuch Chen, could you please remind my father to drink medicine on time and to wear knee pads?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will always remember it!"
De'an's old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and he was ready to send the eldest prince out of the royal study.
"It's done! Do I still need you to remind me, just take care of yourself."
Although the emperor was tight-lipped about his disdain, Liang Zhirui could tell from his smiling eyes and relaxed expression that the emperor was very pleased with him.
Alas! Liang Zhirui sighed deeply in his heart. No wonder the emperor is so partial to the eldest prince. The eldest prince is really a sweet-tongued man.
As long as the eldest prince is willing, he can definitely make the emperor happy.
Liang Zhirui was even more worried. It seemed that the emperor wanted the eldest prince to become the crown prince? Looking at his attitude, it was very clear.
As soon as the eldest prince left the imperial study, his face darkened.
He came here because he heard the news that his father was going to decide on the candidate for the princess for the fourth child today, and they also mentioned the legitimate daughter of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Originally, he thought that the fourth child lived in seclusion and did not care about worldly affairs, so it would be no problem even if he married the girl from the Zhenguo Palace.
But later he learned that the fourth child was a wolf in sheep's clothing, so how could he let the fourth child succeed?
But later, the fourth child said that he wanted to make a deal with him and asked him to help him a few words to get his father to agree to the marriage.
He was certainly not stupid, so how could he trust the fourth child? But he came over in the end, not because of the fourth child, but because Liang Zhirui was here.
It's impossible not to hear the rumors in the capital these days that Liang Zhirui is Gu Chengyu's teacher.
It is self-evident that Liang Zhirui came to meet the Holy Spirit today for his purpose.
He immediately thought of Gu Chengyu. If Liang Zhirui wanted to reject the fourth child's marriage, he would have to drag Gu Chengyu into the water.
He actually didn't know why he came. He didn't intend to help the fourth child.
Speaking of Yi Laosi's temperament, he would indeed tell himself who the treasure map fell into. But it had been several days, and he had figured it out, so he was not surprised.
Although he was recuperating from his injuries some time ago and had neglected the affairs of Hejian Mansion. But Gu Chengyu went to Hejian Mansion. Do you still need to ask about the result?
You can tell it just from your father's attitude. Isn't he a fool?
The fourth child always thought that he could muddy the waters by hiding in the dark and controlling things. Unfortunately, no one else was a fool, except of course the idiot, the third child.
It's just that the third child may have come to his senses now. If the third child was really hopelessly stupid, he would have been eliminated by himself long ago.
As for the second child, let alone that. He is a man of talent. Unfortunately, his temper is too weak.
The eldest prince couldn't help but remember that he and the fourth child got along quite well before. He originally thought that the fourth child would help him ascend the throne because of his poor health, but he would always miss out on the other person's benefits in the future.
After all, why should I care about such a person who is about to die soon? Could it be that the other party still threatens me?
It's a pity that the fourth child's ambition is no less than theirs. With a sickly body, he still dares to think about those things that are available?
The eldest prince sneered, and then walked out of the palace gate.
"My lord, I won't go around with you. When the fourth child came just now, we had already discussed the candidate with me. Your granddaughter Hui Zhilan is very popular with me, so I naturally intend to betroth her to the fourth child.
.It's just that our feelings are naturally different. Since you have come to ask for your favor, I would not be able to bear it if I refused decisively."
The emperor sighed and frowned tightly.
When Liang Zhirui heard this, his heart beat like thunder. He sent the eldest prince away. Was this to announce the result?
"But I can't refute the fourth son's face for you, what do you think? I'm really in a dilemma!"
Seeing the emperor's pretentious appearance, Liang Zhirui's heart sank to the bottom of his heart. Did the emperor forget his original promise? Did he really want to mention that matter?
If the emperor really refused to let go, then he would have to shamelessly mention it today.
"I have an idea. Since you are optimistic about your little disciple, let's call Gu Chengyu over and see what he has to say."
The emperor looked at the eager Liang Zhirui and suddenly had a plan in mind.
"Your Majesty! To be honest, if you call Jin Yu here, how can he dare to compete with the fourth prince?"
Liang Zhirui was so anxious that he began to speak indiscriminately.
"Then you mean that I was forced by him?" The emperor's old face sank, his imperial aura was so frightened that Liang Zhirui quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Why should the emperor listen to Liang Zhirui now? His face quickly returned to normal, "What are you doing? Get up quickly. Don't you want to know how your little disciple feels about this marriage?"
"Xiao Quanzi! Go to the Hanlin Academy to invite Mr. Gu."
Liang Zhirui saw that the emperor was angry, so naturally he did not dare to refute.
At this moment, he was in a war between heaven and man. Should he mention that matter? Although he would definitely achieve his goal if he mentioned it, the emperor would also be furious.
This is not good for Jin Yu either, how hard it is!
Liang Zhirui suddenly remembered that his young disciple had always been quick in thinking, so he simply closed his eyes, with a sudden change of heart, and handed over the mess to Gu Chengyu.
"Gu Chengyu, the humble minister, respectfully invites His Majesty!" Gu Chengyu had already learned that Liang Zhirui was here on the way to the Imperial Study Room, so Xiao Quanzi was willing to betray him.
"Ping Shen!" Facing Gu Chengyu, the emperor's expression softened a bit.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Gu Chengyu stood up, he saluted Liang Zhirui.
"teacher!"
"Yeah!" Liang Zhirui responded. He wanted to say something, but then he thought that this was the imperial study room, so they couldn't help but give up!
"I called you here just for your marriage. Your teacher said he wanted you to be his grandson-in-law, so you are here today to ask for my marriage."
The emperor didn't beat around the bush and said it straightforwardly.
"It's just that Prince Jing and I have already discussed the candidates for his princess and concubine today, including that girl. What do you think of this matter?"
The emperor had an angry look on his face just now, but now the anger on his face had disappeared completely. This change made Liang Zhirui even more frightened.
Gu Chengyu didn't expect that this problem would eventually be thrown back to him. Prince Jing was so fast!
It seems that the two sides have come together. Alas! What a coincidence!
Gu Chengyu opened his mouth to reply, but he didn't want the emperor's words to make him fall into an ice cave.
"You have to think clearly, I am not an unreasonable person. If you are in love with that girl, then I can help you. But this matter must be explained to the fourth, otherwise where will the fourth's face be? Let go? In fact, this matter is not difficult to handle. I promise you the Hejian Mansion matter."
Gu Chengyu suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor, what does this mean? The good news of promotion is gone? 7
